I grew up around sugarcane and I still farm it today

Sugarcane is what Negros Oriental runs on. My family has worked the land here for years — delivering to the mill each season, the same way smallholders across the Visayas have always done it.

I know what it's like to not know your quedan balance. To keep harvest records in a notebook that gets wet in the field. To try to remember which plot you irrigated last and when. These aren't failures of discipline — there was just no proper tool built for farms like ours.

The 2026 RSSI pest outbreak made the gap impossible to ignore. Farmers across Negros were losing crops and couldn't even document what they were seeing to claim assistance. I wanted a way to track it, declare it, and share it with the community — from a phone, offline if needed.

So I built what I needed

Sugarcane Farm Manager is a free, offline-first app built specifically for Philippine smallholders. No account required to start. Works with no signal. Runs on any Android or iPhone you already own.

It started as something I made for myself — to log my own fields, track irrigation, record expenses, and see where the RSSI pest was spreading on a community map. The more I used it, the more I realised other farmers in the same situation needed it too.

It's live and free at lmreyna.com. Farmers across Negros, Iloilo, Capiz, and Bukidnon are already using it — and I'm still the one answering messages when something doesn't work.

The tool

Everything a sugarcane farm needs — nothing it doesn't

Built for the reality of smallholder farming in the Philippines: intermittent signal, low-cost Android phones, and zero IT support.

Field records
Stage, yield, moisture, pest status, fertiliser, variety — all per field, all offline.
Work calendar
Tasks, irrigation logs, and farm events — with weather data layered in.
Expense tracking
Labour, fertiliser, irrigation, and hauling — by field, by category, by month.
Pest tracker
Declare and map pest sightings. Community RSSI outbreak map shows spread across your district.
Satellite map
Trace real field boundaries on satellite imagery. See your actual farm layout, not just a list.
Cloud sync
Data lives on your phone first. Optional cloud backup keeps records safe across devices.

When your growers use this, you get something too

The app was built for farmers, not mills. But when a meaningful share of the growers in your supply area are logging their farm data and syncing it to the cloud, the aggregate picture becomes genuinely useful for planning — at no cost to you or to them.

Supply forecasting. Crop stage distribution across opted-in farms gives you a 90–180 day crush estimate you currently build from memory and informal surveys.
Early pest signals. Community pest declarations from your district show up on the shared map before they reach the delivery gate.
Grower data stays with the grower. Mills only see what individual farmers voluntarily share. No individual yield or expense data is visible without explicit opt-in — per field, per category.
